Re: It's official....

lol! yeah, Irwin's been in shed for the past few days and its not been pleasant. Odd; sometimes he has no trouble with handling right up to the night before he actually sheds, and sometimes, like the other night, i start to lift him ever so gently since i know he sensitive right now, and he starts thrashing around. I call it his, "I couldn't possibly be more displeased" dance, pretty sure whats going through his mind is closer to, "GET OFF ME!"

I always soak theme too before I feed them. Well Dallas was not having it. Oh but when I pull him out of his soaking tub he is ok. Sir, I will not play with you today. I will not.

Why do you soak your snake? Out of curiosity.

When I clean their cages I just let them swim around a little bit. I have gotten bowl movements in the tub versus in the tank. It started when I had my burm, just kept doing it with every snake I have ever owned.

I'd advise against it just because soaking a BP dries them out and is actually counterproductive to the shedding process.

nice, high humidity is the key to perfect sheds. get them to shed nicely and u don't have to stress them out by soaking them or rubbing them down with towels, etc.
also they will have bowel movements when they're ready. unless there's a blockage, they don't need a soak to assist pooping either. it's easier to provide good husbandry than to stress and troubleshoot issues with your animals.

I never knew I was doing harm to them by doing that. I feel like a bad parent now.
